well, to be completely honest, I cheated in the past...not often, and not on everyone. Sometimes there are psycological reasons that one cheats. For me, it was that I didn't believe that there was any other way out of the relationship. I had tried breaking up with him several times, but he always begged and I always took him back..finally Something clicked in my brain saying, "Well, if I sleep with someone else, he won't take me back..." and he still wanted to....

I have learned my lesson...I'm much better at cutting it clean and sticking to it if I'm going to break up with someone...and haven't cheated since...so...no, I don't think that once a cheater ALWAYS a cheater. As with everything...it depends.

Abso-friggin'-lutely. A cheater will ALWAYS cheat, no matter how much he/she will to try to deny it.

These are my thoughts exactly. Almost the same story as mine. Glad you put down so I didn't have to.

Once, no. Everyone makes mistakes and does dumb things. I used to smoke because I picked up a cigarette one day. I haven't smoked in over a decade because I learned, by doing it, that it wasn't the best thing for me. Once a smoker, always a smoker? Same thing. But if someone does it twice, I'm bound to think a little more about it, because it means they didn't learn their lesson the first time. Ignorance can be forgiven, but not educated stupidity.

once shame on them,twice shame on me

I didn't mean to cheat on you baby.

well there are some exceptions,just dont do it again

I promise...he meant nothing to me.

Ditto here too.....

I haven't cheated in more than 15 years.

Depends.

Drinking lets you do what your thinking of doing anyays. So its not an excuse.

95% of the time its always 'i got drunk and cheated' or they just needed something 'extra' or whatever.

The only valid reasons i've ever seen for cheating, and the only ones i've seen where it's happened only one time is

A) there at war, or far away from home and feel its there last chance to have sex.

B) girl or guy completely witholds all sex and intamicy for months or years.

C) They have only been with you or a very very small amount of people and wanted to try it out before marrage

or

D) The person they are with is incapable of preforming the acts that they really wanted to try atleast once.

Thing is, all 4 you could talk with your partner with. Things can be worked out. I strongly believe a relastionship is about taking care of eachothers needs. Communication is always #1 in the needs department.

But generally speaking, if someone goes out and has sex with someone else, and gets away with it, they will do it again. if they dont get away with it, you break up and they do it again anyways. some people are built to want many differnt partners, some are built to only really want one.
